Features of C++

Features of C++

Some important features of C++ are as follows :

• Convenient
• Well-Structured Language
• Case Sensitive
• Machine Independence
• Object Oriented
• Module Programming
• Standard Libraries
• Hardware Control
• Brevity
• Speed
• Popular Language
• C Compatibility

Convenient language:

C++ is very convenient language. It provide many facilities in easier way that are difficult to use in low-level language. Programmers can write complex code more easily as compared to low-level language.

Well-Structured Language: 

C++ is a well structured language.It syntax is very easy to understand. The program written in C++ are easy to maintain and modify.

Case-Sensitive: 

C++ is  case-sensitive language. It means that it can differentiate upper and lower case words. All keywords of language are written in lower-case.This feature makes it easy to maintains the source code.

Machine Independence: 

C++ language provides machine independence. It means that program written in C++ language can be executed on different types of operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac etc). It is preferable to write C++ code rather than machine language code.

Object-Oriented: 

C++ is an object-oriented language. In OOP techniques programs are written on the basics of objects. An object is a collection of data members  and member functions. Object-oriented programs are easy to learn, update and maintain.

Modular Programming: 

C++ language provide the facility of modular programming. It means that programs are divided into small modules.These modules can be easily developed and compiled independently and then linked together.

Standard Libraries: 

The Standard C++ library is  a set of functions, constants, classes and objects to extend C++ language. It provides the basic functionality to interact with operating system. These libraries can be reused by any programmer for writing  programs more easily in less time.

Hardware Control: 

C++ language provides close control on hardware. The programmer can efficiently program to control hardware component of the operating system.

Brevity:

C++ is a small language. It has a small  number  of keywords and programming controls. But still it is every powerful for developing different types of programs. The program written in C++ is very short as compared with other  languages.

Speed:  

C++ compiler generate very fast code. The resulting  code from a C++ compilation is very efficient.  This code execute very efficiently. So the program take less time to execute.

Popular Language:

C++ is a very widely used programming language. There are many tools available for C++ programming. 

C Compatibility:

C++ is backward compatible with C language. Any code written in C can easily included in C++ program without hardly making any change.
